Hayden Assemian brings high-motor rim protection and efficient finishing to South Carolina
As a South Carolina forward, Hayden Assemian’s value is built on **energy, rebounding, and interior defense**: in the 2025-26 season he averaged 2.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 9.8 minutes while shooting 69.4% from the field, and his track record at Powdersville and in OTE points to a low-usage, high-effort big who impacts winning without needing touches.[1][4][6][7][9][12] He looks like a good fit for teams needing a physical, coachable role player who can finish around the rim, contest shots, and keep possessions alive, especially if you want upside from a player whose best traits are motor and activity more than shot creation.[6][7][11][16]
